A diagnosis of cancer strikes fear in the heart of everyone who hears it. The diagnosis and treatment of many types of cancer have come a long way in the last decade. Advances in science and technology have brought about new methods of diagnosis and treatment for many types of cancer. Early detection and new treatments are providing cures once thought impossible and improving the lives of people afflicted with cancer.
Unfortunately, failure to diagnose and treat breast cancer is an all too common occurrence. The delay can result from any number of errors on the part of the woman's physician, the radiologist reading the mammogram, the pathologist interpreting the biopsy, or the communication system between these various physicians.
